Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Test

The Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Test is a medical laboratory test that measures the levels of ACE in the blood. ACE is an enzyme produced by the lungs and plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure. The test is commonly used to diagnose and monitor various conditions, including sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation in different parts of the body. At healthcare nt sickcare, we offer an online ACE Test that allows patients to conveniently and securely access their test results from the comfort of their own homes.

Why is the ACE test performed?

The test is useful for confirming sarcoidosis and is also helpful in the diagnosis and monitoring of the disease. The test may also help confirm Gaucher disease and leprosy. 

1. If you have signs or symptoms suggestive of sarcoidosis like chronic cough or shortness of breath, watery eyes, joint pains or granulomas, 
2. If you have been already diagnosed with sarcoidosis, this test may be ordered routinely to monitor the disease activity

When is the ACE test advised?

The test may be recommended if an individual has signs and symptoms suggestive of sarcoidosis, which include:

• Shortness of breath
• Chronic cough
• Red eyes
• Watery eyes
• Joint pain

The test may also be ordered for individuals undergoing treatment for Sarcoidosis to gauge the progress of the disease and to monitor the efficiency of the treatment in controlling the disease.
